What range you gave it for mapred.task.profile.maps? And you sure your mapper will invoke the methods you expect in the traces? Yong

At the end of the job I'm getting a profile.out file, however I think it's not the profile of the mapper... none of the methods I use in the mapper appear on any of the traces. Am I doing something wrong? I'm using a small cluster with 4 machines. Thanks,Yaron
